Tamiya sprockets on Torro/Taigen/Heng Long?

Post by Marco Peter »

Hi, I have a crush on the Impact King Tiger late tracks, but they come with 18-teeth sprockets only suitable for Tamiya.

Can I make these sprockets to fit on a Torro/Taigen/Heng Long King Tiger? 8)
1:16 was my scale. Until 'Konan' came into my life... an Armortek 1:6 Tiger 1!
... Now followed by a Panther G, 'Gunther'!

I'm a happy man. 8)

Marco,
The Tamiya gearbox output shafts have two flat areas, whereas I believe the Heng Long, Taigen and others only have a single flat area. I have read where people have modified them to work together but it is a fair amount of work.

Yeah heard so too.

No 18-teeth sprockets for Torro/Taigen/Heng Long anywhere for these tracks? :-)
